Bug #16943 Updated: Undefined variable

ID: 16943 Updated by: frayday@yahoo.com Reported By: krizz@krizzbeatz.de Status: Bogus Bug Type: Compile Warning Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Remember that in php4.2 register_globals are turned off by default! To access them you'll have to use $_GET[form_var_name] or $_POST[form_var_name] or $_REQUEST[form_var_name] . I hope this helps !
